This Day in Gaming

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 13th birthday of the PlayStation Vita. Though its life cycle wasn't one of roaring success, I still have a soft spot in my heart for its gorgeous OLED screen, impressive tech specs and games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, and Hotline Miami.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.
